      Switching IP Address ranges

      My broadband contract came to an end so I took the opportunity to upgrade from ADSL to Plusnet's Fibre product which, I believe, is FTTC. This necessitated a change of router to Hub Two... Which has worked out perfectly. Plugged in, powered up: I didn't even need to put my login details in...

      Point taken. Wouldn't a static IP address fix the problem of the turning off the Hub One DHCP server?

      No, but wouldn't it fix this? Also I was following your advice... Whatever, as long as I get no errors or any other network problems, I'll be happy.

      OK, I have taken your advice and turned the Hub One's DHCP Server back on. "LET THEM FIGHT!"😊

      Switching IP Address ranges

      Well, I've read about half a dozen web pages about double NATing. They all tell me that it isn't necessarily a problem if you don't "play online games or use port forwarding rules and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)". Which I do not. Is there any danger in both DHCP servers fighting to give...

      Given that double NAT is bad, shouldn't I set the Archer AX55 IP address as static?

      I am somewhat shocked and stunned to discover that, despite my PC IP address being 10.0.0.4, I can still load up the PlusNet Hub One web interface on its IP address of 192.168.1.254. Presumably, this is the magic WAN port of which you spoke.

      Well... I felt capable enough this morning to have one last try. And it worked. Here's what I did. Powered off the PlusNet Hub One. Unplugged the Ethernet cable to my network switch. Plugged in the Ethernet cable from the Archer AX55 WAN to a PlusNet Hub One Ethernet port. Powered on the...

      Thank you for this: I will try it later in the week. "using a static IP address on the Hub One" Did you mean the AX55?

      You've laid it out perfectly. Options 1 & 2 are looking likely at the moment.

      Switching IP Address ranges

      To be clear, you are saying that with a static IP, the Archer AX55 Internet section should have the same IP address as the Hub One?
    13. Last.To.Know

      Switching IP Address ranges

      Your analysis is correct, BH. Because I just booted it up in the incorrect sequence, the Archer AX55 currently can not see the Internet. And thus I can not log in to my tp-link account and so the Advanced Settings section is in read only mode. The DHCP and the LAN section can not be edited.

      The box is powered down at the moment, but I think I let it choose Dynamic IP. The AX55 could see the Internet and my tablet and phone could use its wireless to access the Internet. [Edit] Powered it up just for you, Martin. Dynamic IP it is. Which I think it's taking from the Hub One.

      IF you try to change the Plusnet Hub One IP address to 10.0.01, it gives the error "These IP settings are not valid on the Plusnet Hub". All my devices were on 10.0.0.x and I found it much easier to enter, especially on awkward interfaces that I had to access via the telly, such as the...

      Yes. I believe you are correct. However, searching the PlusNet forums, it would appear it's not available.

      You can, and I have, turn off the DCHP and the wireless. I watched the rest of that video and it turns out I'd already done everything he mentioned. The trouble comes when I set the Archer AX55 LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1 It then becomes invisible to the PC and ping. I can still connect to...

      Thank you for your generous help. And, amazingly (perhaps), that is the video I was following until I hit the roadblock with the Hub One. I will go back to it. It appears that the Hub One doesn't have a bridge mode. I shall think on.

      I, too, am not enamoured. Especially as it introduces a point of failure. What happens if your connection is down? My understanding is that you wouldn't be able to change any settings. [Edit] Meant to ask... The Plusnet Hub One is at 192.168.1.254 The Archer AX55 is at 192.168.1.66 Are you...

      FYI The TP-Link router has a login which appears to be simultaneously on the Internet and on the router. Once you have set up a TP-Link account, you have to log in to it on the router in order to be able to access and change most settings.
